Objects Missing from the National Museum of Beirut
Objects Missing from the National Museum of Beirut is a black leather-bound book that mirrors the mystery of the museum’s absent inventory. Subtitled Lost, Stolen & Destroyed Objects, the book contains fragments of fictional stories about the missing artifacts, but it remains closed (and thus inaccessible) to the viewer.
